While waiting for yeast to bubble, place milk, butter, sugar, and salt into a microwave-safe bowl/cup or saucepan.

Microwave for around 1 minute or heat over low heat on the stove. (Mixture should NOT be over 115°F or feels hot to the touch, you’ll need to let it sit a few minutes to cool down.)

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, egg, and yeast mixture. Stir or mix to combine.

Once the milk mixture has cooled enough, add it to the flour/egg/yeast mixture.

Add another 1 cup of flour then add more flour (1 tbsp at a time), if needed. Continue mixing until a dough is formed.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth & elastic. (The dough should be soft and still slightly sticky.)​

​

​

If dough is overly sticky when you do this, you need to add a bit more flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Form the dough into a ball and transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour.

After rising, punch down the dough and transfer onto a lightly floured surface.

Use a dough slicer to divide the dough into 2 equal parts.

Roll each part until it forms into a log. Cut each log into equal pieces.

Form small dough balls and place on baking sheet or in a well-greased pan. (ugly side down).

Cover the tray or pan with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

While waiting for the oven to heat up, use kitchen scissors and cut an X-shape on top of the dough to make a star-like shape.

Brush with melted butter and dip the top part in sugar.

Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Serve immediately.

Enjoy!

*** Oven temp varies. I suggest to bake it the first time at 325 deg F and see how it goes or use an oven thermometer.*** Always check before the set time. Set time at 15 minutes and check if top is golden brown.​Makes about 15-20 pcs depending on size of dough balls.​

Once the milk mixture has cooled enough, add it to the flour/egg/yeast mixture.

Continuing on speed 2, gently add another 1 cup of flour. Add more flour (1 tbsp at a time), if needed. Continue mixing until a dough is formed and starts to clean sides of bowl. Dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Form the dough into a ball and transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour.​​
